No flow after filtering

[Chow]

Hi all. I just picked up an EX micro filter and proceeded to filter out a vintage century lamp and thought it looked great when I was done. I placed the globe back on the light and went  to sleep dreaming of flowing lava. When I got back to it this morning the lava was sticking to the sides and not moving. Did I mess it up? Am I missing something? I am just super bummed out now. Anyone have any ideas for me? Thanks for listening and I hope I get some good feedback. Thanks again.

You might find something cheaper. It’s only a handheld water filter pump. You may only have one now but later down the road you might have a few more. $80 is a bit high for a filter but so is spending $100+ or more on a single cloudy vintage lamp that you must have.
